[@davedobbin]

Modern dishwashers have a 'shelf' on the front of the top tray whose sole purpose is to actually catch the pod/tablet - these shouldn't actually reach the bottom of the cabinet itself. When it is operating, what happens is that the top hole on both outside edges of the rotor arm pass under the tablet/pod and spray it with hot water. This dissolves the cleaning material to release the detergent, etc, into the cabinet. The most obvious thing, then, is to work out why this process isn't taking place and the obvious thing is that these two holes are blocked and are not actually spraying. It's a simple solution (but takes a bit of work) - you have to remove the rotor arm and clean it out. I used a thin skewer (but any probe will do) to loosen the material inside the hole and the arm, I forced water through the hole to backwash the arm and I even blew through the hole, repeating all the processes until I had cleared/cleaned the whole arm out. I was surprised at the amount of food debris and even small bits of plastic. The temperature of the water entering the machine shouldn't be a problem as the machines usually have a built in heater to bring the water up to temperature. However, if you live a few thousand feet up a mountain there may be a problem with the water boiling at a lower temperature! Or if the thermostat is faulty.

[@syprus3687]

Thank you. i couldnt listen to this guy trying to blow peoples eardrums. highly annoying voice and not funny if that was the attempt

[@ciphercode2298]

You sound alot more reasonable than the screaming guy. Mine is 2 years old and had been working fine and suddenly the soap pod is laying undissolved in the bottom of the washer and the dishes are still dirty. I'll give that arm a look

[@jonweber.8.756]

Thanks so much mate! We live in a tropical zone but had a cold snap and the water was not feeding in hot so causing the issue. You helped greatly from preventing a costly call out!

[@ekalvarez1]

[@karenjs15]

Thanks for this video! Does anyone else have this problem - My tablet seems to be getting wet in the dispenser and sticking there. I wonder if it is getting wet before the hatch has popped open? Problem with the dispenser hatch seal perhaps?

[@iwenttotheshow]

this is happening to me too, any solution??

[@karenjs15]

@@iwenttotheshow Actually I feel quite foolish. I had a plastic dishwasher freshener hanging from the top shelf, right in front of the tablet hatch, so it must not have been opening properly, even it didn't look as if it was in the way! Moved that, and problem fixed! So do double check that nothing is stopping the hatch from opening properly. But in the meantime, if you're still having issues, I read somewhere that it could be that the pressure from the top jets is not enough to 'wash out' the open hatch, so check all water openings in that are not blocked. Good luck.

[@covidfake1573]

Yep. Still looking for. Solution. Could be improper loading. Could be running water from another source diverting hot water from dishwasher or water heater not produce enough hot water.

[@ekamarie6632]

Yes that’s exactly what’s happening to mine. And then all my dishes feel gritty.

[@arthursmith643]

Run your hot water into container so you don’t waste the hot water first to make sure it is coming in. Coat dishwasher pod with dish liquid after placing in dispenser. Makes it easier for pod to slip out when door opens.

[@ManuelHernandez-gq1yq]

thanks dude you solved my dishwashing problem- hot water!

[@tonks78]

Thanks! I think my family is putting too much stuff and improperly loading the dishwasher. I use liquid now as I heard from a dishwasher repair guy that the pods have a plastic that doesn't completely dissolve, so it may clog up the jets. 🤷

[@waddo777dlc2]

I was told to no use liquid for dishwashers because they create leaks

[@KL-wx8pj]

Love the enthusiasm! My Dishwasher is not fully dissolving the tablet. Thanks for making this video, will go through the trouble shooting steps and see what the issue is... I suspect its putting the cutting board up against the side of the loading tray (as you described!). Will up date this if I get it resolved

I used 3 pods now after seeing this I moved some things around and on my 4th pod. Praying this works

[@flexiblestrategist9922]

If the pod dispenser door doesn't open, just put the pot anywhere inside and start the machine. It will work the same way.

[@karenjs15]

I end up doing this too. I wonder will it be wasted in a prewash rinse rather than the deeper wash cycle though?

[@garpikemike1]

@@karenjs15 nah.. they know a lot of ppl cant even fit those cubes into the dispenser and throw them in. The crystals (at least some of them) are meant to take awhile to dissolve for that very reason.

[@thelouisejust]

I have tried powder stick in all the drainage holes. I just picked them all out. I filled a snack size zip lock! I vacuumed the rest of the chunks out. I was told to put two cups of vinegar and ran the washer on regular with dry heat. It looks really clean now! I’m in drought ridden California so I had been using water saver mode and air dry. I really think I need to use the regular hotter mode every two weeks, and switched to liquid.

[@BlakesPA]

Thanks! The dishwasher has worked for years but for some reason the pods aren't dissolving lately. I tried the kitchen faucet method and that worked! I guess the water just wasn't getting hot enough.

[@theacguy9546]

Why isn't anyone mentioning dishwasher doesnt get hot water?They have an element that heats the water.

[@Sahil_Antil]

Same. This dude is talking about externally giving hot water as an input to dishwasher. But now a days dishwasher themselves heat the water inside and there is no temperature gauge. There are just pre defined settings with pre defined temperatures. I think I should try using some other dishwasher detergent. And if that also not work then I will try liquid detergent.

[@LebannersHook]

Dishwashers are hooked to the hot water line and are fed by your water heater (in most cases) and not the cold water line for a reason. The heating element is there to bring already hot water to even higher Temps. The heating elements are not designed to heat cold water. Therefore your comment is incorrect and misleading. Too little of hot water can prevent the heating elements from increasing the temp of the water high enough to dissolve the pods.

[@theacguy9546]

@@LebannersHook you don't know what you're talking about. I've been installing dishwashers for 20+ years. Until a couple of years ago they had cold water running to them. Nothing has changed other than the use of dissolving tablets that work better with hot water. You're out of your league.

[@LebannersHook]

@@theacguy9546 hahaha, you are something. Bruh.... you been hooking them up wrong then. You are trolling right? From Maytag website, "Dishwashers are connected to your home's hot water connection. Dishwashers can run with cold water, but it is not advised. Cold water will not wash dishes properly and could leave behind food and soap residue." From Bestbuy's website, "Your dishwasher will heat the water by itself but it's best to run the cold water out of the hot water line before you push start." From LG install guide, "The recommended water supply temperature is 120°F." From Electrolux, "Almost all of our machines will connect to hot or cold water, please always check the installation manual for further information. If your machine is connected to a cold water supply, it will heat the water itself. You can connect to a hot water supply to decrease energy consumption..." Almost all dishwashers can be hooked to hot water. In other countries outside of the USA models that can use only cold water are more common but still not the norm. A cold supply line reduces efficiency and can cause detergent to not dissolve properly or sanitize properly. Can you hook to a cold line. Yes, in a few models. Should you?... only if you have no other choice, ie. No hot water supply or water heated from solar to save your hot water -or- on the RARE models that can ONLY accept cold water. Find me a model that can't use hot water. You've been doing a hack job at installing dishwashers and instead of researching the misinformation you spew and are made aware of you confidently back it up, lol. Hey, I think some of the comments are your previous install jobs wondering why their cold water supplied dishwasher isn't working right 🤔 😕 😆

[@LebannersHook]

@@theacguy9546 oh and dishwashers have been able to use hot water supply lines when stainless steel replaced the old vinyl lined insides... decades ago. This guy said a few years, lol. So we had cell phones before we had hot water supply to dishwashers?... what a clown. 😆 "Nothing has changed other than the use of dissolving tablets" Wrong again, read above about the transition from vinyl lined insides to stainless.

I could be wrong, but I think dishwashers have their own heating elements and do not use hot water. My issue was the cutting board blocking it.

[@DWilliams-sf5th]

Captions work great

[@andreadaniel6599]

You are incorrect in your thought process when you say the dishwasher pod gets stuck in the handle of the middle rack. The unit is actually designed to have the dishwasher pod release in to the middle rack handle compartment. The pressure from the spray arms (when not blocked) actually accurately breaks down the dishwasher pod evenly throughout the wash cycle vs just dropping it in to the bottom of the dishwasher like other brands. Please correct this thought process in your video so that Bosch customers don't think it is wrong. Thank you.

*HOT WATER...* Dish washers have a HEATING element to further heat the hot water so the temperature of the water coming IN to the dishwasher shouldn't matter. For example, the water may be 120degF and raised to 155degF.

[@carlosa.sanchez896]

Great tips, although our issue was with Cascade liquid, not pods. My wife was putting a 9" skillet near the front and it would have a detergent smear on the edge and most of the detergent oozing out of the cup. My conclusion was that the skillet was blocking the pathway, backed up by the fact that a small amount got on the edge. Even with that issue, our LG 3-shelf unit still left everything clean, except that skillet. We'll confirm my theory next time we do a cycle.
